I am looking for flowers or herbs that will thrive in my grow room. I don't want anything large that will take up a lot of room or light. I am interested in trying my hand at gardening more than MJ, corn, and peppers. I grow the corn and peppers outside.

Good luck in whatever you pick....there are many gardeners here that have some great flower gardens going....some of the threads are great.

You're right, I have seen a lot of great flower gardens, and potted flowers, in threads here. Some of the orchids I have seen on this site are amazing.

Try a few small herbs to start with. Maybe some which harbor beneficial insects.

anice, dill, red clover, carroway, corriander etc...any herbs which produce nectar and pollen will provide a good home for BI's. Ladybirds love munching on spider mites

Do the ladybugs (aka ladybirds) munch on the plants at all?

No. The majority of Ladybirds are carnivores. If they eat any plant material it will more than likely be the nectar/honeydew for carbs...thats the point of having the herbs which produce nectar.

I see. I have always ordered ladybugs for my outdoor garden but I was never sure if they messed with the plants or just ate the pests. Thanks for the tip. If this was winter time I would have more ladybugs in my house than I could use for my garden. They flock to houses like flies on shit in these parts of the country.

Some really nice flowers to grow are bleeding hearts , they grow like a weed [ no pun intended ] And you can transfer them outside for them to flourish , if you give them enough room they will take over a field .

Heres a pic of my bleeding hearts :

Dstock, they are beautiful! I may have to give them a try. I am about to relandscape my yard so I may have to keep a space for these.
